Mansfield Movieplex

Eastbrook Mall, Route 195,

Mansfield,
CT06250

Probably one of the strangest theatres I’ve been to. The 4 (1-4) theatres facing the concession stand have stadium seating, and reclining chairs. The theatres on the right (5-8) behind the concession stand have old school sloped seating with a center aisle, non reclining seats. At least the screens are decent in these smaller houses. (They have side masking) It seems that they were either cheap, or ran out of money while designing this place.

The theatre should do well in the East Brook Mall for several reasons:
1. It is the closest first-run movie theatre to both University of CT in Storrs 10 miles away and Eastern CT State University 2 miles away.
2. It is located in the area’s only indoor shopping mall and the mall draws traffic from its anchor stores JC Penney, TJ Maxx, and the newest Kohl’s. Although the mall is one of the smallest I have been there are few closed retail spaces.
3. It further solidifies East Brook Mall as a place where one can have a night out – shopping, restaurants, and a movie.
